Crystal Mall adds three new stores

Waterford - Yankee Candle is one of three new stores opening at the Crystal Mall in the coming months.

The scented-candle retailer, relocating from a site across the way at Waterford Commons shopping center, will be ready for business sometime in early September. It will be located on the mall's lower level near American Eagle.

A Taco Bell fast-food restaurant will open at the mall around the same time, while an Ebony and Ivory beauty supply shop will take root later this month.

"Crystal Mall is constantly working to make certain that our retail mix has something for everyone," Ashley Keating, director of mall marketing for Crystal Mall, said in a statement.

Ebony and Ivory stocks cosmetics and hair care products among its offerings.

The store will open on the mall's upper level near JC Penney.

The new Taco Bell, slated for an early September opening, will be found at the mall's food court.

The 775,000-square-foot Crystal Mall, operated by Simon Property Group, features more than 125 stores and food retailers. It is anchored by JC Penney, Macy's, Christmas Tree Shops, Sears and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
